Description

This case is for upgrading using to upgrade the current release (Fedora 26) to the branched release (Fedora 27) using the Fedup CLI.

How to test

Perform an installation of the stable release (e.g. Fedora 26) with default partitioning (no less than 500MB for /boot), selecting the default package set.

Do a full system update and reboot

Install fedup. It is usually a good idea to install the very latest version from updates-testing: su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install fedup'

Find the URL of the development branch for Fedora 27. This URL should be of the form http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/<version>/<arch>/os/

<version> is the of fedora under test (currently 27)

<arch> is the name of the arch running on the install to be upgraded (i386, x86_64 ...)

Due to the way that branched composes are done, the fedup client is not capable of grabbing initrd and kernel from those branches. The devel branch will rebuild from whatever is in stable for every push to the devel stable branch.

<URL-LOCAL> is the location of a local fedora repo if needed for faster response speeds

Check the fedupdebug.log file to see if any errors show up in the output from fedup-cli

Reboot the system if fedup-cli has completed without error

Once the system reboots, there should be a new entry in the GRUB menu titled System Upgrade

Select the System Upgrade option from the GRUB menu

The system should boot into the upgrade process and a fedup progress screen should be displayed

Press the <ESC> key, will switch from the graphical progress screen to the textual progress information display

Returning to the graphical progress screen by pressing the <ESC> key will return you to a screen where the progress bar is "frozen" RHBZ #873144 and RHBZ #883075, exist for this and other previous display issues related to fedup. Remove this comment once the bugs are confirmed fixed

Once the upgrade process has completed, the system will reboot and an option to boot Fedora 27 will be on the grub menu

Log in to upgraded system, open a terminal, file browser, or other system applications.

Expected Results

fedup-cli will run to completion, without error

The upgrade process should complete and reboot without user assistance beyond selecting System Upgrade from the GRUB menu

The system should be upgraded to new version without error

The opened terminal, file browser, or other system applications should display and work correctly
